Knowledge control in informatics in military and civilian universities

Abstract

The article provides a comparative analysis of the results of learning control in higher military and civilian universities. The analysis and comparison of control methods of testing were used. It was found that even the simplest paper-based tests allow effective comparative assessment of knowledge and provide a much deeper differentiation of knowledge assessment than the five-point grading system.The cheapness and efficiency of the test used at Krasnodar Air Force Institute for Pilots are achieved by dividing it into three parts: a questionnaire, a response sheet, and a test stencil. The questionnaire is a reusable document, and the response sheet is small in size.The use of basic Microsoft Office programs in the test showed that the mastery of these programs among students is increasing year by year. It turned out that the mastery of these programs depends little on the main process of learning.When checking the knowledge in the field of computer science, the primary testing is basic. But in general, the control of residual knowledge with the help of testing can objectively establish the effectiveness of teaching any subject.The article conducted a mathematical analysis of the test results and plotted probability density plots, which were approximated by a smooth mathematical function. This clear view of the distribution of the indicator leads to an understanding of how well the knowledge is learned by students.
